My little girl turned three this weekend. Three - where did the time go? Wasn't I just on maternity leave?

K is such a little person now - full of personality and confidence. Despite my best efforts, she is not an adventurous eater and bread in its many forms is her favorite food. She loves baby dolls, being read to, her new little princesses, pretending to be a puppy, her umbrella and her pillow. And I love her with all my heart and soul. Despite all her faults (that all came from her father - not me!) - her temper, the battles over cleaning up the toys, and her heavy handedness when she deals with her brother, I adore her. She is my little bug, and she's three...

She told her Papa she wanted a rainbow cake for her birthday, so I went with the rainbow theme for our little family party. Well, I guess it wasn't so little since Grandma and Grampie drove all the way up from Southern Indiana and Grandpa Jack came from Petoskey. My son reminded her that, "Grandma Crissie is at Egypt and she couldn't come."

Papa apologized and told her that he forgot to make a rainbow cake. (Wink wink) She took it pretty well, but then chastised him at the dinner table for it. When he apologized again she said, "Dat's O.K. Papa. I'll eat dat cake." You should have seen her face light up when she and her father cut the first piece. "The rainbow's inside Papa!"

Apparently he didn't forget after all...

If you want to make a rainbow cake, just separate your cake batter (A used yellow cake) into different bowls and then use gel food coloring (A used Wilton brand from the cake decorating isle) to color each bowl of batter. He spooned each bowl of batter into the center of the cake pan, plopping the next color on top of the ones that were already there and hen baked according the the directions on the package. Though, it took two trips through the dishwasher to get the bowls clean...
